In the book called Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell‚ Malcolm has a chapter called The Trouble with Geniuses‚ Part I where Gladwell spends this chapter showing that a high IQ is not a voucher for a free ride on the success train.

Who would have thought that this book was going to talk about people? I thought it was so clever to call people outliers. What an intelligent way to describe those people. To describe the people out of the ordinary‚ the talented ones and to explain why they are so. The first chapter is called the Matthew

Interpretation: Myers and Berg’s description of Enjoy it… While it Lasts is that “Things disappear. Sometimes things disappear as the result of an accident. Sometimes neglect causes things to disappear. Sometimes things are intentionally made to disappear” (Enjoy it… While it Lasts).
